Since 2022, FairClimateFund and BioMassters have been collaborating on the rollout of the Mimi Moto pellet stove, <\/strong>one of the cleanest cooking stoves currently available. This efficient cookstove reduces smoke indoors, lowers CO\u2082 emissions, and offers households and entrepreneurs a cleaner alternative to cooking with charcoal and firewood. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Digitale monitoring via het Gold Standard dMRV-pilotprogramma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
One of the most significant developments of 2025 was the announcement of the digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) platform<\/strong>. Thanks to this digital system, pellet usage and the resulting emission reductions can be accurately monitored and verified. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Rwanda project is thus part of the Gold Standard dMRV pilot program<\/strong>. This innovative program explores how digital data can further enhance the reliability, transparency, and efficiency of carbon credit certification. The first dMRV-certified carbon credits from this project are expected to be issued in Q4 2026. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
More retail locations make healthy cooking more accessible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
To make clean cooking accessible to even more households, BioMassters introduced a new distribution model in 2025. The company now partners with 25 local franchisees<\/strong> in Kigali. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThese business owners were already selling everyday products and have added pellets to their product line. As a result, customers no longer have to travel to a special BioMassters store to buy fuel. This expansion increases the availability of pellets and makes using the Mimi Moto cookstove easier and more appealing. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Schools are also switching to Pellet Cooking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not just households that benefit from clean cooking. In 2025, five schools in Kigali <\/strong>also began using pellet stoves. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSchools used to rely largely on cooking with firewood, which produces a lot of smoke and consumes large amounts of wood. By switching to pellet stoves, working conditions for kitchen staff improve, air quality increases, and cooking becomes more efficient. <\/p>\n<\/div>Moving on to the next phase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n With the introduction of digital monitoring, the expansion of the distribution network, and the growth in the number of users, the Rwanda project laid a solid foundation for further scaling up by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2026, we expect to reach another important milestone: the issuance of the first Gold Standard<\/strong> dMRV carbon credits. Through this, the project demonstrates how innovative technology and local entrepreneurship can work together to contribute to a more transparent carbon market and a future in which clean cooking becomes accessible to more and more households. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This year, a large stream of refugees, particularly women and children, fled the conflict in Darfur, Sudan, to Chad.
